Cheers..

I do read through most the posts before putting my money on the new ride.

The fact that most of us are under the Campro and some CVT families does make a point to visit all clubs and hear the owners' experience.

Yup...

Anyway, indirect-own and occassionally drive PE - yes..

My gf's dad trying to push me for getting a new Persona ... It was my initial target (that's the reason I started coming in here) because I do think it's a good car at its price range but somehow got greedy and opt for others.

Yup.... hopefully will get it latest by tomorrow....

Yup...

Asking them to do other than changing engine oil sometimes they look at you one kind as if you're so mafan. Parts used are all non-genuine, at least decent aftermarket parts are good but even oil filter they would take those that comes at cost price RM2, yet the charges on customer is still around RM10 .... Buying a Bosch Oil Filter is the same price but the cost price is few times higher thus margin low.

Yeah and I always bring my own parts for service probably that's what keep my car engine still refined enough even though it is aged so long but you know not all mechanics like it... So I have got some good one I get to know.. and now I still sending back to SC (with my own parts the condition is it must be reputable brand such as Bosch/Denso etc) ... they charge me workmanship for RM20 only

Same price with most mechanic outside...or at most RM5 more expensive.

In Melaka.. I get to know the manager

Another PE I brought is RM30.. cause they say newer car but I figure it still worth.

Anyway it includes car wash.

Nola bro....

Got a few I go they charge RM60 standard..
Some RM45...

This 1 I first time go they charge me RM30 then after that kenal d just RM20

When I did

- Brake Bleeding
- Change Disc Rotor + Brake Pad
- Normal Service
- Flush Radiator (using those drinking water in their dispenser some more)

He just charge me RM60 x 6% GST

**RM60 workmanship only

(Parts are all self-brought except Engine Oil - as I said will support him on that)

That speaks why I don't go to outside mechanic do anymore.. lol

RM90 for workmanship only?

What did they do?


I would say okay if they do brake bleeding/radiator flushing as these would incur more workmanship

My friend's Saga BLM first batch is doing 9km/l only... He's lightfooted actually.. His other family member using it would be at 8km/l.. It's superb high..

But Persona most of the people I know scoring 11km/l-12km/l easily... on normal Klang Valley drive.. mixed conditions...
If highway it definitely does very well..

Myvi has an advantage in FC due to its weight but Persona being a more all-rounded vehicle suitable for most kind of needs (family, long distance, comfort, spacious, safety) and most important the price is competitive..

Travel @ City also depends..

If you are frequently travelling during peak hours ~ traffic jam...
Then Myvi would be a more suitable car and easier to maneuver + better FC ( but i learn that Myvi Auto FC isn't something to shout about) range of 13km/l in average despite being like 200kg lighter than Persona?)
Hence stability and safety would be less prioritized in this? (Depends on you though)

Usually a refill from 1 bar or when it starts blinking bar would just be around 35litre+ can probably get you around 350km-400km.
Some people score lower and some score high.. As I said... everyone's foot is different and driving situations/pattern

Persona 1.6 Auto at 110km/h would be around 2800/2900 RPM..

It hardly surpass 3000 rpm if your foot is "normal"... No need too gentle.. just being normal will do..

And if the driver could be more gently during the pickup from static then it would be better.

The ratio for manual is different..

Generally if you cruising constantly at the same speed.. Yes definitely the one in the lower RPM should score better FC

Any Proton Edar authorized SC...

Can get the list of SCs in Proton website. Do some search and you can then verify with everyone here if you are not confident.
